Thumbs up Salsa and stewed zucchini ( my own)

I made my first salsa yesterday and it came out yummy!! You'd think I had my own garden but I got perfect beefsteak tomatoes from the farmers market along with jalapeno peppers Heres are my ingredients:

6 beefsteak tomatoes( 1 yellow)chopped fine
1 jalapeno pepper-chopped fine
1/2 vidalia onion- chopped fine
1/4 tsp cumin
2 tbs cilantro

allow to sit and meld, covered, for at least 1 hour before eating.

I also had alot of squash that I got last week and needed to cook up. I made a big pot of stewed zucchini and have alot now for the next few days.
4 chopped zucchinis
olive oil
4 garlic cloves chopped fine
2 tbs dill weed
1 tsp red crushed pepper
2 plum tomatoes, sliced thin
1/2 cup chicken broth

1-sautee garlic and red pepper in olive oil for about 8-10 minutes on low heat.
2- sprinkle in a little dill and add in a layer of chopped zucchini, keep layering with the dill until it is all in the pot. 1 st layer is the sliced plum tomatoes
3- cover and allow to cook on medium heat for 12 minutes, stirring once or twice. repeat a second time
4- total cooking time is about 25-30 minutes.

**I don't add salt but you can if you like to....try to use Morton Lite Salt. 50% less sodium and it has potassium added which is a good thing for us.**
